Um…..wow.

Here are some of the team’s initial thoughts:

“Well that’s one way to think outside the box, I mean basket. ”

“No, listen! When this side gets too dirty, you just flip it over! There’s a whole nother’ grill on the other side.”

“So, did he roll the meat out in the cart, and then just flip it over?”

“Bets on who’s chimney the bricks are from?”

“Why didn’t he just MAKE a big grill? With OLM stainless round bar.

Forklift Ooopsie…

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Our latest Industrial accident happened right next door! Early this morning, I glanced out my office window…and noticed this…


I guess the operator didn’t realize how loose our gravel is. Ooooops!

Unfortunately, my camera was out in the shop when they used their ginormous Industrial CAT forklift to scoop out and move this little bad boy back onto the pavement. I saw it though, and it was cool!

Now, if only I had another, even larger forklift to carry them both on. Bwahahahaha!

Safety first, people!!!

Proper Steel Handling Instructions…

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

Kids, I can not stress enough the importance of properly maintaining your steel products.

When steam cleaning your tank car, do not immediately seal it up, and then leave for the night.

This is what happens…

this too…

and this.

Which is why OnlineMetals TUBE is stored with open ends,

and our SHEET isn’t rolled into rail car, ravioli, bubble, or balloon form.

Hopefully their mistake has saved you from a few of your own. Happy building!
